3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20Bomber picked up by my lively wife at state liquors in md. Shared with friends. Pours a amber color, foamy head with fair retention. Scent is light rye and a hint of pine. Taste is same with addition of caramel malt.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is heavy on the citrus and rye with some biscuit malt. Flavor is rye, orange, pine, toffee and low bitterness. Medium body and medium carbonation.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured as part of a flight. Light hop aroma, reddish gold color, bitter throughout, some rye bread flavor mid-taste, medium finish. For me, the rye makes this fairly unappealing.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
pours a light red to heavy copper color with good head retention. Aroma is heavy in grapefruit, some citrus, and spicyness. the flavor is malty with caramel up front with a finish of the rye spicyness at the rear and grape fruit from the hops. This is a good well rounded beer and would recommend to a ipa lover plus a rye lover. I believe i have homebrewed this recipe myself.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Had this right after the regular IPA, at somebody’s Summer Shack in Alewife.
Gave them both the same ratings, though are some differences. aroma of caramel, wood and. black pepper. flavor is grapefruit rind, caramel and toast. light in the mouth.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, in the new year-round livery. Hazy orange-amber with a thin but staying top of foam. There’s a nice citric aroma, and drinks with a gristy, grainy grittiness, and a pleasant floral citrus bloom flourish. (#5027, 5/23/2013)

Had this on tap in Boston MA while coming back from Germany. Really great hop aroma and a nice bitter flavor. Great beer and bought a glass!!
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
The rye dominates a bit and gives this a bit too strong of a spice flavor. Herbal aromas are drowned out quickly as the flavor comes in. The finish is pretty quick and spice again. Interested to try this but probalby won’t be picking up more.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Amber pour with a thin white head. Aroma of hops and caramel. Light body but a lot of flavor. A nice hope profile which fades to a sweet finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Strawberry preserves, citrus fruit, and mild cereal aromas. Clear copper with a faint, off-white head. Dry, fruity, with a well balanced malt backbone, and good bitterness. Light-medium bodied, spicy, well carbonated, and finishes with hop bitterness and subtle notes of black pepper.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice hoppy spice and fruity almost jam scent. Thin white head and light amber body. Dry hoppy slight spice and rye flavors. Crisp smooth but a lityle thin on the palate.
